      No no, that's name calling already, you jumped straight to the top. You need to cloak your disdain in a civil tone, because remember the next step is going to tone policing. So something like, "I don't think you have a lot of experience arguing on the internet seeing as you come from a much smaller instance." is much better bait.

            It was/is but your bit was better. Admitting being wrong isn't a step though. That's also why I deleted it until you responded because I realized I'm not funny 😢
